If god is eternal and never changes, why doesn't he go insane?

Question

Yes, it's a rediculous question, but think about it for a moment.

Eternal UNchange implys stagnation. No growth, no advancement, no progress. To get around the problem of god being a lazy slob, we assume he exists outside of time, but that begs the question... why does a perfect, eternal being need to indulge in an imperfect temporal reality?

Is it really just to be "worshipped" by great humans?

How shallow and self-indulgent.

Jay - are you saying Y!A is only for faith based thinkers, and gullible fools? Yours may be the dumbest answer I've ever read. I'm tempted to give you best answer for just that reason.

Arily666 - yeah, and Daffy Duck can't say ridiculous, so what's your point? You still managed to understand my question, you ridiclous genius.

Answer 1

The creators of God didnt program her to do so...

Answer 2

Because one of the reasons that God never changes is that He is perfect. If something that is perfect changes then it becomes imperfect and was never really perfect to begin with. As far as stagnation goes, God can't do a number of things. For instance He can't learn anything because He already knows everything. He can't make a mistake because once again He is perfect. God exists outside of the space time continuum that He created so eternity the way we think of it doesn't apply to Him.

Answer 3

It's like how a dictator forces people to worship and obey him or else they burn.

If god was so great why can't I believe in what I want (it means rejecting his assumed existence) without burning in hell for not worshipping him, even though I'm a good person who commits no terrible wrongs?
I mean christians have said in previous Qs that if Hitler truly repented and found Jesus before he died, he'd get into heaven. I see that as screwed up.

Answer 4

Understand the concept, "Who is God" and it would become simpler to understand God Almighty in its entirety.


God Almighty... a cluster of pure energy is but the sum total of all souls (atmans) in the cosmos at a given point of time. The essence of every soul (atman) being the same as God Almighty... every soul is but a minuscule God in its entity.

The moment the big bang occurs... all souls (atmans) existing in the Cosmos spread all over the cosmos with unimaginable speeds. The magnitude and the scale of the big bang are beyond the comprehension of the human beings to visualize. Nothing that exists in the cosmos in energy form can be visualized by the help of the senses and the mind.

This explosion of the big bang results in creation of a new cosmos... a new beginning! After billions of years when some planets become suitable for giving birth to life... the souls start manifesting body after another. And a planet like Mother Earth is born.

Now... what is this big bang theory! The big bang occurs in what! As has been defined above... the definition of God is, "the sum total of all purified souls atmans in the cosmos at a given point of time is what we know as God Almighty".

This cluster of pure energy we know as God accumulates in its absolute pure state only when the dissolution of the Cosmos occurs in its entirety. It is as if a huge cauldron of fire... a massive black hole has reduced the whole of the Cosmos to the size of half a thumb. It is this stage when every single soul atman in the Cosmos in whatever stage of life it may be liberates after gaining enlightenment and salvation. There is just no escape for the collapse of the whole of Cosmos has occurred.

As has been expressed by Mahavira, the 24th Tirthankara of Jainism that souls atmans in whatever stage of life they may be... continue their journey into the next Cosmos exactly from the point where they stood in the earlier manifestation is totally wrong. This is where the teachings of Jainism are flawed.

Bhagavad Gita... the sacred doctrine of Lord Krishna distinctly clarifies this point. And it is logical that when the collapse of the entire cosmos occurs... the question of souls remaining in their position as such and transitioning into the next Cosmos after the big bang occurs is but a flawed parable that defies all reasoning and logic.

The point of difference where Mahavira went wrong in understanding the teachings of Bhagavad Gita! The reason why Jainism branched into a new thinking pattern as advocated and doctored by Bhagwan Mahavira (the 24th and last Tirthankara of Jainism) is evidenced here.


This cluster of pure energy... the sum total of all purified atmans in the Cosmos equals half the size of a thumb as has been clearly spelt out in the Bhagavad Gita... the most sacred doctrine put forward by Lord Krishna in the battlefield of Mahabharata.

Answer 5

Look at God not as something "out there" or "up in heaven", but as the very life force within you and all creation. That should give you some answers.

You're too much of a critical thinker to be on Yahoo!Answers. But to answer your question as a Christian would answer it:
